We've been using prefolds for a month. His fanny always looked great even if the prefold was SOAKED. He is finally big enough for the BG 4.0s. His bottom his quite red. Thoughts on this? He wasn't in them longer than a prefold diaper. Do I need more absorbency? A liner? I will be super sad if these diapers don't work out.

Re: Hmmm...his fanny is red in the bum genius...
This. Some babies are sensitive to the micro-suede.
A lot of babies are known to have sensitivity to the BG microsuede.
I would consider a liner for sure. Fleece ones, cloth wipes etc. would create a barrier between baby butt and diaper.

Yep! Or cut up an old sweatshirt or sweat pants even.
